It was the same in my VW days, the OEM factory parts that dealers insist on using are expensive and dealer labor is always pricey too. One of the main provinces of independents is brakes. Indys are often able to get the same OEM part, or a part they are experienced with that they know works well, for considerably less, and their labor rates and total hours for any given job can be substantially lower too.
Our super sharp Saab tech Eric often puts new pads on old rotors. If the rotors measure fine and aren't too gouged, leave 'em on. Many dealers simply insist on new rotors for a quality brake job and this avoids many complications and customer dissatisfaction, which ain't always a bad idea when your a dealer.
